Thank you so much for all the prayers for Anna. Surgery went very well and she is resting comfortably in the PICU.
The transformation in her head size is nothing short of miraculous. Basically, the doctors took off the majority of her skull, cut it, and reshaped it over her head. Prior to surgery, her head circumference was 57 cm. I don't know exactly what it will be once the swelling decreases, but it is obviously much smaller. It should be so much easier for her to lift it and hold it up once she has healed.
She is not as swollen as we all expected, although she will probably continue to swell. She can open her right eye, but seems to want to sleep, which is exactly what she needs.
Hopefully tomorrow she will be moved out of the PICU. If all continues to go well, we hope to have her home by the end of the week.
Wonderful news! Praying for her recovery and pain level!
